Vital Beam is a state-of-the-art radiation therapy device that can irradiate radiation to tumour-target tissue at a high dose rate and is designed to minimize adverse effects due to patient movement.

However, the radiologist points out that current scan machines “irradiate much less” and says that the average radiation dose in this study is probably no longer the same as the one used now ...

The round silver pellet contains the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, and puts out harmful quantities of both gamma and beta radiation. The pellet was part of a gauge used for measuring the density ...
